We know holidays are important so we’re committed to making sure yours is hassle-free. It’s the little things which make a big difference and we enjoy surprising customers by finding better deals than they can get online, taking care of flight check-ins, and even hand-delivering tickets if nearby.

You can rely on us for accurate, expert knowledge. We’re up-to-date with the latest hotels, new resorts and rising destinations. We also attend familiarisation trips, training days, travel fairs and industry events – and if we’ve haven’t been somewhere, we’ll ask one of our trusted contacts.

We’ll also share insider tips, be that a favourite bar or off-the-beaten-track sight. Just tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll use our experience to hand-pick the perfect trip.

Travel surprise - I was blown away by Sri Lanka. It’s true I love the beach, but I was so taken by the culture, wildlife, people and food. And there are an incredible number of up-and-coming boutique properties.

Travel highlight - Staying at Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives and sipping sundowners in the same room that Kate Moss stayed in… That’s going to be hard to beat.

Bianca Wassell

I’m a bit of an adventurer… Caribbean, Thailand, New Zealand, Fiji, Hong Kong, South Africa, Indian Ocean to name a few. I love New York and Vegas, I’m also a Europe fan with recent trips to Greece, Portugal, France, Sardinia and Spain. I’m also a keen skier with experience across Europe and the US.

Travel surprise - I wasn’t sure if a river cruise would be my thing, but I loved sailing through the heart of the cities, seeing the sights from the sundeck with a G&T in hand!

Travel highlight - It has to be the Eastern & Oriental Express from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Such a breath-taking rail experience!
